Kind of annoyed at the scared emotion

I haven't had a sim get scared once to the point where it overrid the other emotions.

I guess my sims' emotions work differently do to Meaningful Stories mod that is made to create better emotional balance. I guess that's a good thing because it's not a very good sign when a sim was more concerned about poor decor than scared.

Well if you won't use the options available to stop them being scared and you use a mod to make emotions more meaningful and last longer, I don't understand what the problem is? You seem to be deliberately making it worse for yourself and then complaining?

I didn't know the mod would make the emotion kind of annoying, if that's even the reaosn why. And I was not complaining, talking about some things you don't like is something I see on here all the time, so I don't see why I can't express something without "complaining" SHM
Next time ignore me, thanks.

After seeing how often a sim is scared.....I absolutely understand why we don’t have “scared to death”.
Sims are scared so frequently that we would probably have an entire neighborhood die within a sim week ?

Ohh meaningful stories... ok, with that mod it can be anoying...
For example, when someone dies this mod makes a sim very sad for around 6 to 8 days. Well, if you're playing in normal lifespan, this can be way too much (for some people, while of course others will love it)...
Try taking the mod out and playing like the game is intended for a while. You'll notice that there's nothing exagerated. It is problably one of the features more toned down right from the beginning.

Honestly the Paranormal stuff is watered down and poorly written. EA has given up and writing this stuff while using the restroom. Not all are frighten by the unexplained. Night after night my Sims have to deal with the Temperance breaking appliances then you got Gautry hanging out till the sun comes up. Need a better way to remove these spirts then just candles and kicking stuff.

If you don't want the spirits, why are you playing a haunted lot?

You can disable Guidry and Temperance doesn’t appear very often if you keep the spiritual serenity of the house up by removing the cursed items and performing ceremonies on the seance table. I actually think the pack is quite well done and it’s definitely one of the best stuff packs so far.

If you really don’t enjoy the gameplay you do have the option to turn off the haunted residential and play as normal.

Pause your game (or not if you do not wish to)-> enter build mode-> change the lot type to residential.

It annoys me when they come into my retail shops and then get scared and run off, waving their arms.

It's like "dude, I was just about to start putting the hard sell on you, get back here!".

Hah, yeah. That's annoying. Although I do find it funny when it's a male customer and he's in my lingerie store when he suddenly starts to panic. Would love to know what triggered that. :D

I hear ya. People complain that there aren't enough debuff effects in the game, and that the effects are not powerful enough. But then when we're given new debuffs people complain that they're ruining the perfect lives of their perfect supermodel families. It's frustrating.

No, we complain because it interferes with our gameplay and is extremely annoying to have Sims constantly run away in fear for the most stupid things.

In reality, not everyone is afraid of thunderstorms... most adults certainly aren't, but the adult Sims act like complete idiots with the "scared" emotion now.

Stop telling other people we're not allowed to criticize a game or a feature that interferes with our gameplay.

You should probably play the game more, because Bonehilda is the one that that specifically deals with Temperance and you even get a special summoning to make Bonehilda appear more quickly when Temperance arrives.

You can criticize, it just seems invalid. You can turn off Thunderstorms. You can buy a Stormchaser trait for 500 points. You can actually play the game long enough to get the Brave trait. You can put simple items like Seashells on counters to override the fear. You can take a cautious shower to lower the fear duration. You can literally do so many things to deal with fear but your criticism comes down to fear existing and that one of your sims isn't perfectly green at all times. "in reality" doesn't apply when storms in Sims4 are extremely dangerous.
